Appalling Aust Press Council determination that this cartoon by @cathywilcox.bsky.social is in any way inappropriate. Rather I find the APC, who have long been so woeful when it comes to racist white blokes (Laws, Jones, Sandilands et al) & their adjudication “causes offence, distress & prejudice”

10 countries have now crossed 50% EV market share. Not cities. Not regions. 10 countries. Across 4 continents. What's remarkable is that just three years ago, Toyota Chairman argued EVs would be limited to around 30% of global new vehicle sales for the next 100 years. It's 2026 #Bettrificatation

I'm a bariatric surgeon who has performed 2500+ weight management surgeries in the UK & US. GLP-1 weight loss medication have created a massive drop in bariatric surgery. My colleagues in the field are disappointed, but I'm thrilled as I was growing tired of the same operation.

Ah hell. Reads about movie I wanted to watch at cinema: "It was released in 2024." Me: "Wait, this year? What? Its out of the cinemas already?" [silence] Me: "Oh. Oh no."

somethingsomething-innie-vs-outie has a different meaning to all-weather cyclists.. :-)

Starting a FQDN/Hostname with a numeral and/or using uppercase letters gives me the absolute ick. Yes, I'm a giant geek, why do you ask?

In honor of Trump’s attendance at Game 3 of the NBA Finals, the refs have stopped calling fouls if they come from the Red State team. #NoRules #GoKnicks

My car-rego refund funded my car-alternative choice :-) Guess what I'm doin' this weekend?

The main reason I picked my ebike today is bc I needed to dress business casual and didn’t want to show up a sweaty mess in this hot weather. Mission accomplished - I wasn’t sweaty and got my kids from school on time!

Real Estate: Owners Will Retain Access To The Ring Cam

Got my 20% Vic Rego rebate in my bank account. Turns out that makes this purchase about $10 dollarbucks. www.lego.com/en-au/produc...

Software QA / Automation, my job title. I'm also an ex-customer, and have years of experience in the industry USING our product. It bugs me when I fight to fix a workflow, and people say, oh, its not that bad. I create a ticket, and ask customer support about it. "Oh yeah, lots of complaints."

This topic is, uh, a hot potato?

Burke Road, Camberwell, is a disgusting traffic sewer. Traffic sewers frustrate drivers and cause a rise of bad drivers driving badly. Imagine my schadenfreude to see 3 cops, ON FOOT, ticketing drivers. How bad does traffic have to be that you can't get away from a slightly overweight cop on foot?

#CarryShitOlympics :-)

Time to dish it back. Boycott anything Pickering does. The groups like to lobby their protest against Grace, we can do the same back.

As any decent human would!

A milestone achieved on Australia's main electricity grid, the NEM. Energy discharged from utility batteries over the last 12 months now exceeds generation from peaking (OCGT) gas turbines. Those who thought batteries would only provide ancillary services now looking foolish.

So when you’re telling the truth, say it persuasively, and REPEAT YOURSELF. Saying it once isn’t nearly enough. #UrbanTruth (repetition works)

Argh! My brain glitches on one of these and assumes its the other. One feels like it changes direction mid sentence and it almost feels like cognitive dissonance. Can you move this to yellow from red? Can you move this from red to yellow? They same the same thing, but one is _simply wrong_.

New, my kit is worth ~AUD$20,000. I haven't touched it in 5+ years.

Another cartoonist telling it like it is! #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

hope you brought urine!

WFHing from a different place than normal. I don't have my chair, I don't have my dual monitors. I have a dining room chair, and just the laptop. How do people work like this?!

Trump wouldn't last two minutes.

I need to play scrabble with my kids.

Oh, that one is dark. You've seen "Live, Laugh, Love" right? My equally gallows humoured friend: "I need a badge that says 'Live, Laugh, Toaster Bath' with the way work is..."

A gentle reminder that if a pedestrian path, or shared pedestrian/cycle path changes gradient/elevation to match the road or driveway, it is car driver infrastructure, not infrastructure for people outside the car. Regardless if the surface is painted a different colour.

Sorry. My @smh cartoon.

0 traffic related deaths. Victoria has 1 per day (roughly). We're at day 147 and 105 deaths.

and no, I kept my thoughts to myself.

Co-worker is claiming they had an "accident" in their car. No... You chose to not familiarise yourself with basic car knowledge and maintenance, and had two balding tires and that caused you to lose control in the wet and run into a tree and fence. It is a crash. It has a cause. Your choices.

Two tube punctures :-( I *knew* the risk of not spending the time finding the object that punctured my tube, but I was running late. Got ~10km before the second tube went pfffffft. Bike is now at the shop :-(

I received a delivery notification. Problem is, I can't remember what for. Guess I get a surprise when I get home.

WHAT? Some people apparently don't have a "routine" when showering. Like, their order of head, pits, bits, arms, legs, is randomised?! How do people operate like this?!

The economy is +$#@ed! I turned up at the ALDI ski special deals sales at 12:30PM and there was still heaps of kit?!?!? Two years ago I got there at 10 and it was like picking over a carcass!

Diy'ers... This is *exactly* 2.00mm yes? That's 12 gauge in wire, but 14 gauge in bike spokes?

There is going to be a LOT of bullshit about trusts. So let's keep our eye on the ball. Bugger all people use them. But millionaires do and they get a LOT of income through them And they do that because they can avoid paying tax.

Truth. My parents should not have stayed together.

Eww. Car insurance renewall. Rego, insurance, road-side assistance, is now ~$500 per month. Thats without taking it out of the driveway. EWW.

lol Wrong.

A friend named her cat Wench, it often got out, at night, and she'd have to call out for it for hours, at night, outside, where neighbours could hear. I've also heard of twin labradors called Dee and Burr...

"You can't put a Black actor in this movie! That's desecrating the story of that long dead author!" Brought to you by the same impressively stupid fuckers who think Jesus is white.

1,700km of commuting this year so far. That's like AUD$750 :-)

As an Aussie, this is a fair conclusion. HP sauce is a Lovecraftian substance.
